Hi All 96' Lima 2WD. My high pressure line on my PS pump likes to leak. Its not major but its enough to make me keep fluid in my truck's tool box. I have 2 major questions below. Just looking for some help. Now one major problem is, I bought this truck from a friend and instead of adding ATF he added PS fluid and as the leak kept going now the system is completely PS fluid and no ATF. My pump has been super loud for almost 3 years. Recently it actually switches in between loud and quiet. The quiet has inspired me to get it right.
1. I have replaced the teflon seals and replaced a new line but the line bottoms out and its still loose. So it jiggles more than it should causing a leak. But since it is not ATF if I replace the pump the system still has PS fluid in the box. Am I screwed lol?
2. Is it possible to just swap out the box and get a new pitman arm and manual gear box instead?
The leak can actually fail your state inspection here in Texas so I been passing but I have to fill the system and clean the area every year. Kind of getting old. Your advice is most appreciated.
